Published: February 2012

New spiroaminoborate esters derived from 1,1-diphenylprolinol, ephedrine and dihydroquinine with different alkoxy substituents were prepared as stable crystalline compounds and characterized by spectroscopical analysis and specific rotation. The structure of the spiroborate 4 derived from 1,1-diphenylprolinol and dicyclohexyl-1,1'-diol was confirmed by X-ray analysis.

An enantioselective borane-mediated reduction of a variety of 2-haloketones with 10% spiroaminoborate ester 1 as catalyst is described. By a simple basic workup of 2-halohydrins, optically active epoxides are obtained in high yield and with excellent enantiopurity (up to 99% ee). Ring-opening of oxiranes with phenoxides or sodium azide is investigated under different reaction conditions affording nonracemic 1,2-hydroxy ethers and 1,2-azido alcohols with excellent enantioselectivity (99% ee) and in good to high chemical yield.

Prochiral heteroaryl ketones containing furan, thiophene, chroman and thiochroman moieties were successfully reduced in the presence of 1 - 10 mol % of spiroaminoborate ester 1 with different borane sources to afford non-racemic alcohols in up to 99% ee. In addition, modest enantioselectivity, around 80% ee, was achieved in the reduction of linear α,β-unsaturated heteroaryl ketones.
